100 bucks, where did you get that, a 4x 24w HO is like having a 2x58 watter right., you even cover more area with less heat., looks great btw.

im just looking for lights, cheapest and most effective, as for the last expensive link, which bulbs would you recommend in the t5 and t8 range?

is their a rule of thumb to play here, like the lumens, and as for flowering, Ho t8s possible? i came across a t8 HO 2x58 w at a pet store
